About me
My name is Nicola and I am an Integrative Counsellor. The different approaches I use are; Person Centred, CBT and Psychodynamic. This allows me to encompass different approaches to suit your individual needs and we can work together to develop a personalised approach to therapy.
I pride myself in offering a safe therapeutic, non-judgemental and confidential space to help you explore your thoughts and feelings, in a way that feels safe and supportive. My aim is to be able to help empower individuals to take care of their lives. I can help provide tools to help support you in promoting personal growth and self-acceptance. If you are feeling overwhelmed, or stuck in unhelpful thinking patterns, seeking counselling can lead towards a healthier, outlook on life.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
